Samsung Galaxy A05s Screen Replacement Vienna

A fixed EUR 79. For that you get a certified aftermarket screen with glass, touch and LCD as one unit, fitting with new adhesive, a test of touch and image and a six-month warranty. No further costs are added unless we find extra damage when opening the phone; in that case we ask you first. The 25 EUR diagnostic check is waived on repair.

Not at the moment; an original Samsung display is not available for the A05s. We therefore fit a certified aftermarket screen, which we check for touch, dead pixels and brightness before fitting. We tell you this openly instead of selling a part as original when it is not. The six-month warranty applies to the aftermarket screen just as it does to any other part.

In everyday use hardly distinguishable: same size, same handling, touch and image respond normally. Small differences are possible, such as a slightly cooler tint or a slightly different peak brightness compared with the factory display, which Notebookcheck measured at 520 cd/m². If you mainly use the A05s for calls, chats and photos, you will usually not notice anything.

It is a PLS LCD, a liquid crystal display with a backlight, not AMOLED. Black therefore never looks quite as deep as on AMOLED, but the spare part is cheaper. For the repair this means we fit an LCD on the A05s again, and since the fingerprint sensor sits in the side key, the display technology makes no difference to the sensor.

The factory display runs almost constantly at 90 Hz. Whether the aftermarket LCD manages the same refresh rate depends on the batch, so we check it after fitting and tell you when you collect the phone. Swiping and scrolling stay easy to use even with a 60 Hz panel. The fixed price of EUR 79 does not change, and the warranty applies either way.

Usually yes, if a restart and removing the screen protector change nothing. On the A05s the touch layer and LCD are firmly bonded, and a crack in the glass often breaks the fine conductor tracks. If the phone taps by itself instead, these are ghost touches caused by pressure or moisture. In both cases the EUR 79 replacement solves it; if in doubt, the diagnostic check finds the cause.

Then the phone is running and only the picture is missing. Often the LCD or its backlight has failed after a drop; less often the display connector on the board has come loose. We check the connector first, because a reseated plug saves you the screen replacement. If the panel is faulty, we fit a new unit for EUR 79 and your data stays intact.

At the workbench it takes one to two hours: remove the back, disconnect the battery, release the old display, clean the frame, test and bond the new unit. If we collect the A05s in Vienna, it is usually back the next working day. By post, allow two to four working days door to door, depending on the postal route to your province.

Yes, as long as you book first. Select drop-off in the booking form and you will be given a set time slot in the 22nd district; nobody waits there without a booking. Put a few strips of tape over the shattered glass before you leave home, so no splinters come loose on the way and nothing cuts your fingers or your pocket.

We do. Enter your address and time window when booking, we take the A05s with us and deliver it back with a new screen. The round trip starts at EUR 17.90, depending on which zone your district falls into. You see the exact amount in the form before you send the booking, so there is no surprise at the door.

First tape over the display with parcel tape so loose bits of glass stay stuck. Then switch the A05s off, wrap it in bubble wrap and put it in a sturdy box rather than an envelope. The shipping instructions arrive by email after you book online. We send the phone back insured; the postage to us is on you.

Yes. Chats, photos and apps are stored in the internal memory on the board or on the microSD card, and we do not touch either during a screen replacement. You do not have to reset or wipe the A05s beforehand. If the broken screen stops you from making a backup, that is no problem: after the repair everything is as it was.

Yes, for six months. If the new LCD flickers, shows lines or dead pixels, or the touch stops responding in one spot, we replace it again at no cost. The same applies to a display lifting from the frame at the edge. Not covered are new drops, pressure damage and liquid that gets into the phone after the repair.

That depends on the rest of the phone. At EUR 79 you pay about half of the original RRP of EUR 159. If battery and charging port are still fine, the swap clearly pays off because you save yourself set-up and data transfer. If a battery replacement at EUR 69 is also due, we tell you honestly beforehand what the maths looks like for your phone.

Often not. The A05s has no IP protection even when new, and with cracked glass moisture reaches the board even more easily. Power it down, keep the charger away and skip the bag of rice. We first clean the phone in a bath for around 48 hours, check for corrosion and only then fit the display. Water damage treatment starts at EUR 49.
